Veggie Patty

Spicy Mayo

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Veggie Patty

  1. 1

    Cook Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then combine with 1 cup of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Let it cool.

  2. 2

    Mash Black Beans

    In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked quinoa, corn, bell pepper, onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the mashed black beans. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Form Patties

    Gradually add flour to the mixture until it holds together well. Form the mixture into 2 burger patties.

  5. 5

    Cook Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

Prepare Spicy Mayo

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and well mixed.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Prepare Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.

  2. 8

    Layer Ingredients

    Spread a generous amount of the spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, the veggie patty, sliced avocado, and a slice of tomato on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.
